Hyundai’s India lineup has recently welcomed a new model in the form of Venue N Line. It is essentially a sportier version of the Venue sub-4m SUV aimed at enthusiasts buyers. Compared to its regular turbocharged petrol model, the Hyundai Venue N Line gets a stiffer suspension setup, improved steering feedback, a sporty exhaust note and tweaked styling to suit its dynamic character. However, it isn’t the full-blown performance-focused version like the global ‘N’ models. Here is an overview of what’s on offer in the Hyundai Venue N-line so you can decide which of its variant is best for your needs.
Let’s begin with the technical aspects: –
Specifications
Engine | 1.0-litre, 3-cylinder, Turbocharged Petrol |
Max Power | 120PS @ 6,000RPM |
Max Torque | 172Nm @ 1500 – 4000RPM |
Transmission | 7-speed DCT |
Drivetrain | FWD |
The Venue N Line continues with the same 120PS 1.0-litre turbocharged petrol engine as its regular model. However, it misses out on the six-speed iMT (clutchless manual) transmission option.
N Line Specific Changes
Being a sportier version of the Hyundai Venue, the N Line model receives tons of visual enhancements, retuned suspension with 34 per cent more damping force, heavier steering and all-four disc brakes for a more engaging drive experience.
Dimensions
Length | 3995mm |
Width | 1770mm |
Height | 1617mm |
Wheelbase | 2500mm |
Ground Clearance | 190mm |
Boot Space | 343L |
In terms of size, the Venue N Line measures the same as its regular model.
